Chairman and President of the Trump Organization Donald Trump.

Update Below: October 24, 12:30 p.m.

The Trump/Obama story we commented on yesterday has gone beyond viral, with speculation soaring on what Mr. Trump’s version of an “October Surprise” might be.

But first, The Donald himself had some additional tweets yesterday after we posted the story:

Tweet from Mr. Trump at approximately 5:45 PM Tuesday evening.

@realDonaldTrump “This is not a media event or about Donald J. Trump— this is about the United States of America. I will be making the announcement on Facebook and Twitter tomorrow.”

This was shortly followed by another tweet.

@realDonaldTrump “Invincibility lies in the defence; the possibility of victory in the attack.” — Sun Tzu

There have been many fanciful items of speculation out there, with perhaps the most outrageous from GlobalGrind.com, “Trump will probably announce that Obama’s got a secret love child and her name is Honey Boo Boo.”

But most of the “serious” speculation has to do with what is actually a somewhat old story/rumor, namely that the President and Michelle Obama at one point were having marital difficulties and a divorce was being seriously discussed.

Donald Trump is to claim that he has unearthed divorce papers of Michelle Obama and the President, according to a respected financial pundit with links to the tycoon.

It is alleged that the eccentric real estate mogul will claim that the documents show the First Lady and the President were at one point in their two decades of marriage seriously considering splitting up.

Trump set the hare running on Monday by claiming that he was set to make an announcement on Wednesday that would be ‘bordering on gigantic' and that it would ‘possibly’ change the Presidential race.

Mr. Trump began his YouTube video by stating, "President Obama is the least transparent President in the history of this country."

Trump challenged the President to reveal his "college and passport applications and records" by 5:oo PM on October 31, 2012, and if they are released in full, Mr. Trump will donate $5 million to a designated charity immediately.
